AFANA Members Tipping Contest Weekly Update - Round 16

Greetings AFANA Tipsters,
 
This is the weekly update on the AFANA Members Tipping Competition for Round 16.

Round 16 was another good week for most members, with a high success rate of tipping in each game. All those of us who picked the Bombers to end their 14 game losing streak against Carlton were helped out when Carlton stormed back from behind, but the game ended in a draw. So, everyone gets one point for that result. Geelong was the only "upset" result which was tipped by only three members to defeat the Bulldogs.

As a result, there was a lot of high scores, with Gerry, Rob, Brody and Karl all pulling in seven correct tips, including the draw. Congrats, guys. Four more  members had six correct tips.

Rob's 7 winners causes a slight change in the overall standings. Gerry continues to hold a commanding lead - now out to five points overall. Rob has moved into second, with Nigel now one point back in third, and myself one point further back again in fourth. Four more members lie within 5 points of the prize range, so some judicious tipping in the final weeks could bring some shakeup to these standings.

Round 17 kicks off with the Friday night game in Australia, so the deadline for getting those first tips in is midnight Thurs/Fri US EDT. However, tips for later games will still count if you send them in later.

Good luck - now onto the details:
